This time, Philip almost fell from the couch. He grinned and said, “How is that possible? I don’t have that ability. I only have a bit of money. I think someone must have lodged a report against them.” Wynn frowned at Philip. She kept feeling that he was lying. However, she could not think of a reason for him to do so. Sensing Wynn’s suspicious glance, Philip said guiltily, “Why are you looking at me that way? Don’t you know what I look like? Okay, now that your company’s affairs have been resolved, you should take good care of your health. This time, you’re not allowed to go anywhere. Do you hear me?” Wynn gave her consent, continued watching the news on the screen, and then looked back at Philip who was still on the sofa reading the newspaper with his legs propped. Was it really not him? “By the way, Phil, when are you going to introduce your friend to me?” Wynn suddenly asked while drinking her soup. Philip was startled. Wynn was asking a lot of questions today.
Martha immediately turned around, took Wynn's little hand, and persuaded her. “Wynnie, I’m trying to take care of you, of course. How could this hospital be compared to me? So, let’s go home and let me take care of you, okay?” “It’s alright, Mom. Staying in the hospital is fine. The nurses take good care of me, and they have the most advanced equipment here.” Wynn declined Martha’s kind intentions. This time, Martha was getting anxious. She was here today to persuade Wynn so that she could take care of her. That way, she could move back to the villa in a justified manner. “How could that be good enough? Mom has gone through this before. Who can take care of you better than me? You’re my daughter. Do you think I’d harm you?” Martha immediately retorted. Her intentions were very obvious. She would not relent until Wynn agreed. Wynn continued to decline painstakingly. “Mom, it’s really alright. I can stay in the hospital.” After this sentence, Martha covered her face and sta
Philip thought for a moment, forced out a smile to cover his tracks, and said, “It’s nothing. Have an apple.” With that, he passed the apple in his hand to Wynn. Wynn glanced at him a couple of times but did not pursue the question and began to frown instead. What was he trying to say just now? In the afternoon, Philip returned to the villa. As soon as he entered the villa, he saw Martha and Amelia on the couch discussing something. Martha just glanced at him lightly without acknowledging him. Philip ignored her too. The two acted like strangers. After Philip went upstairs, Amelia said to Martha, “Martha, you’ve no idea what a hard time I had when you were kicked out of the villa. I didn’t even dare to show up in front of him for fear that he’d drive me away.” Indeed. After Martha was kicked out the other day, Amelia received a warning. If she wanted to stay on, she was not allowed to cause any trouble. Martha snorted coldly and said, “What are you afraid of?
Very soon, Martha lost all the money she won, so she borrowed again after losing only to end up losing what she had just borrowed. After a few rounds, she had already lost ten million! In the end, Martha flew into a rage and left angrily, yelling, “I’m not playing anymore! It’s a scam!” While cursing, she wanted to take Amelia and run away quickly. However, two burly tattooed men blocked Martha’s path. A person who looked like a manager smiled politely at Martha and said, “Madam Yates, may I ask when do you plan to repay the money you’ve borrowed?” Martha had never experienced such a scenario before, so she stammered fearfully, “I… I’ll ask my son-in-law to pay it back. I need to go home and take care of my daughter now.” With that, she attempted to rush past them. However, the two tattooed men directly held Martha back. The manager took out Martha’s IOU and said, “Madam Yates, please take a good look at it. You’ve borrowed 100 million from my casino. If you don’t rep
Martha was anxious and scared stiff. The other party had so many people with them. It was quite obvious that they would not let her go if she could not get the money. Damn that Philip for hanging up on her at this time! Was he really going to leave her to die?! “Philip, bring the money and save me right now!” Martha roared, looking very miserable and disheveled. Standing at the door of the villa, Philip sneered, “Martha, you gambled and lost. Why are you asking me for money?” “What do you mean? You’re my son-in-law. What’s wrong with asking you for money?” Martha glanced at the manager who was sitting while playing with the dagger in his hand. She was so scared that she started trembling and quickly said, “Okay! If you don’t give me the money, I’ll call Wynn!” Philip was stuck when he heard Wynn’s name. This damned Martha Yates was really inhuman. Out of desperation, Philip had to agree. “Where?” Soon, Martha sent the address to him. Philip thought for a while, ca
“I need you to help me get this from Philip Clarke,” Margot smiled and said, blinking her pretty big eyes while strutting in cat-like steps. When Martha heard this, her head buzzed. Was this thing very valuable? She was beaten up by Philip because of this item last time. Was she going to steal it again? “Um, Miss Pearson, I’m afraid I can’t do it. Philip always carries this thing with him. I can’t get hold of it.” Martha was apologetic and hesitant, making it seem like it was a difficult feat. Margot smiled faintly and poured herself a glass of red wine. Her red lips slightly parted as she said, “Madam Yates, that’s your problem. It’s okay if you don’t want the deal.” Having said that, the two burly bodyguards directly dragged Martha to the window and made a gesture to push her out! The rolling waves down below were horrifying! This time, Martha burst into tears with fright and shouted desperately, “I’ll do it! Don’t push me down!” Margot motioned to her subordina
The bald man frowned and sneered menacingly, “Young man, do you know where this is? You dare to refuse? Believe it or not, I’ll throw you into the river with your mother-in-law!” Hearing this threat, Martha could no longer sit still. She got up quickly and yelled at Philip, “Philip, you have money now, so why don’t you give it? Do you really want to see me get thrown into the river?” Martha was furious. Philip, that b*stard, actually refused? Could he not tell that no one would leave this place without paying?! “Shut up!” Philip turned to glare at Martha and said, “You’re the one who owes them money. Why should I pay? If you want to leave here in one piece, shut up!” With that, Martha swallowed her next sentence. Yes, her life was in Philip’s hands now. If she provoked him now, it would be over for her. Philip glanced at the bald man and said grimly, “I want to see how my mother-in-law lost the 100 million to you.” This was obviously a set-up. The bald man chuckle
When Martha saw Philip’s calm look, she felt furious and could not wait to kick Philip to death. However, she did not consider that Philip was here to save her. Soon, the chips were sent up. The bald man looked at Philip’s chips worth 100 and chuckled. Then, he threw him 100,000 chips from his side and said, “Don’t say that I, Baloo, am bullying you. I’ll give you 100,000 worth of chips!” Philip smiled but did not refuse. “What are we playing?” Baloo asked cheerfully. Philip said calmly, “Whatever.” Baloo became more interested and said, “Let’s play sic bo then. Simple and fast.” Philip nodded in agreement. Soon, the game began. In the first few rounds, Philip did not make the right choices. Seeing the pile of chips on the table getting smaller and smaller, Martha and Amelia were anxious! “Philip, do you know how to play? Why do you keep losing? Are you doing this deliberately?” Martha admonished and could not wait to play on his behalf. His luck was too rotten.
